Fun, frothy definitely pulled-from-real-life kind of story about a huge cast of neighbors, family, and friends in 70s San Fracisco. The dedication to naming brands is wild lol.
One character's arc definitely feels a yikes amount of dated, but I can imagine just how fun it must have been to read the columns as they came out and wonder what society figures they were secretly referencing.
